Be careful what recipes you take from their site some of them are from their earlier books, bit of an omission them not having the calories for any of their recipes on there, one of the good things about the bbc good food site.

Journalist Jane Moore talks to food experts, dieters and scientists to assess just how effective the company's diet plans and food products are, and asks whether they're…

Bear in mind its more how much iron we absorb rahter than how much we have, the RDA is inflated a lot to allow for the fact that most people have low absorption rate. If eating a lot of vitaman C (my diary says 200-300% rda sometimes) then you may well be absorbing more. I know Iron is down in my diary as well around…

I watched forks over knives as well and was looking at a pure plant base diet but in doing research found that there are health issues with long term veganism, vitamin b12 plus some people seem to have teeth problems. This is worth a read especially the comment sections, in fact its a good blog to read as a whole comments…

A couple of handfuls of mixed nuts or similar snack will sort you out your deficit easily.

The Co-op are doing buy 1 get one free on their wholemeal packs at the minute so is really good value as well.

1 If you stay within your calories drinking a can of soda, beer or whatever else you wanna eat doesnt matter. It might not be the best and heathlyist thing but giving people a guilt complex over it is just wrong. Not all of us want to be a ripped athlete and want to make lifestyle changes we can handle and take forward for…

Dont worry about dinner being the biggest meal just keep the calories down and the weight will come off, there are as many theories as posters on this board but for us standard average folk just wanting to lose weight most of them are irrelavant. A can of pop a day aint going to make much difference neither not like you…

I do the same, but I think the main thing is to try and be consistant with the time you do it and know that over the course of a day you will fluctuate by a few pounds.

If you were eating to stay the same weight your daily calorie goal would be around 2,000 ish calories so by only eating the 1,300 you are actually burning an extra 700ish calories a day and that is what adds up to the weight loss. If you are not losing as expected (over weeks dont weigh yourself every day) then need to…

Eating less calories than you use over the course of the week = weekly weight loss Theres lots of people with all sorts of complex theories on this site but thats the crux of it. It doesnt really matter what you eat or how much you exercise as long as that formula rings true you will lose weight. You dont have to hit the…

Once a fortnight, I know I am eating right and excercising more so the weight will come off ,the scales are just the method of keeping score, I think people can turn the scales into an enemy and expect daily miricles. We are on a long term journey measuring daily in the shortest terms possible can lead to dissapointment…

Going off the rails for one day isnt going to put back on all the weight you have lost so far, what will cause you to put the weight back on is beating yourself up about it, getting upset and repeating the cycle today, tomorrow and the rest of the week. Its fine to have blips, its even fine to allocate a non diet day once…
